The Tension Between Success And Happiness - Paul Millerd | Modern Wisdom Podcast 460
Paul Millerd is a strategy consultant, author and a podcaster.

Expect to learn why the tension between success and happiness might have a shortcut, how optimising for freedom gave Paul everything he wanted from his life, what the ancient Greek word for leisure tells us about the modern world, why following a "default path" is dangerous, why unplanning your work day might make you happier and much more...
